Hi Ted,
Would you mind if I removed TIOCTTYGSTRUCT?
I suppose you don't need it any longer, and otherwise could easily add some debugging stuff again when needed. This ioctl exports lots of kernel-internal stuff that userspace has no business looking at. The direct reason I ask is that it also exports a kdev_t, and the meaning of that will change.
